In the ongoing Chennai rains, video of a female police officer lifting an unconscious man on her shoulders on the flooded streets of the Tamil Nadu capital are making the rounds on the internet. Reportedly, the inspector named Rajeshwari helped a man who she found lying unconscious near a cemetery. In the video now gone viral, the inspector can be seen lifting the man and carrying him to a nearby standing auto. She then carefully gets the man inside the auto and instructs the auto-driver to rush.
The video comes at a time when heavy flooding caused due to heavy rainfall has stunted the everyday life of the people in Tamil Nadu. So far at least 14 people have been reported dead due to the wrath of the nature. A red alert has already been issued in Chennai, Chengelpet, Villupura, Cuddalore, Tiruvallur, etc.
Background
For a year, that already saw a pandemic wreak havoc in India, there is still a lot in store apparently. As the wave of COVID-19 receded in India, catastrophic events such as flooding and landslides have been reported from several regions in India.
The year started with the super storm Tauktae and progressed to super cyclone Yaas, & got increasingly intense with landslides and flooding in Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala and Maharashtra.
Uttarakhand too has been witnessing several landslides and intense flooding due to incessant rains this year.
And now, as if it was on the checklist of a cruel God, Tamil Nadu has been on the receiving end of battering rainfall.

What Does the Video Show?
The 1 minute 17 seconds video shows the police inspector lifting an unconscious man on his shoulder. While the woman carries the man, she continues instructing several men around her as to how to go about rescuing the man on her shoulder.
She then sees an auto on the other side of the flooded road and walks towards it. Without letting the man slip from her shoulder; the female cop effortlessly reaches the auto. The walk towards the auto takes more than 25 seconds, making it apparent that the officer had to walk somewhat close to 90-100 meters.
She then carefully pulls the man down from her shoulder and puts him inside the auto. The inspector goes on to instruct the auto driver to rush.
